Luxury Trekking to the Inca Trail
Ancient Inca Trail trekking through majestic mountains
Along with the breathtaking natural beauty, our private guides will educate you on the fascinating Inca history, myths, and beliefs that are passed down through the generations by the Quechuan people you encounter. Machu Picchu may be reached at sunrise on the last day of the four-day journey that follows a sacred pilgrim path. Along the way, one will see archeological sites, lush cloud forests teeming with Andean flora and fauna, and breathtaking mountain vistas.
Because there are only so many spots on the Inca Trail, our knowledgeable guides will ensure that you have a pleasant hike away from the masses, allowing you to appreciate the natural beauty without interruption. Deluxe tents and private Peru tour and accommodations with a knowledgeable guide and porters are available at each of the camps.
